Simon Gagne playing for a team other than the Philadelphia Flyers always felt a little weird. On Tuesday, that was corrected.

Philadelphia acquired Gagne, who played for the Flyers from 1999-2010, from the LA Kings for a conditional fourth-round draft pick, both teams announced. He was at his best in 2005-06, with 47 goals and 79 points, but has struggled with injuries throughout his career.

The Flyers are 9-11-1 overall and have allowed a league-worst 66 goals, so adding a defensemen would've made much more sense, but, as GM Paul Holmgren might've said, it's Simon Gagne.

Gagne, 32, had five assists in 11 games for the Kings, but was also a frequent healthy scratch. He missed most of last season because a concussion, then returned during the Stanley Cup finals against the New Jersey Devils.

"I'm happy to get that chance. It was tough not to play. I'm going to a place I know well. It's like going back home. I know everybody there and I'm going back where it all started," Gagne told Ren Lavoie of RDS.

Philadelphia traded Gagne to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2010 offseason for Matt Walker and a 2011 fourth round pick. He totaled 17 goals with 23 assists for the Lightning and added five postseason goals, then signed a two-year deal, $7 million with the Kings.

A seven-time 20-plus goal scorer, Gagne has 283 goals and 303 in 772 career NHL games despite missing significant time because of concussions and, in 2009, a double-hernia. He's the third Flyer to return for his second stint with the team in 2013, joining Ruslan Fedotenko and Mike Knuble.
